Peer Review Process

The method of evaluation of the submitted texts will be double blind. External evaluators will examine the work anonymously. If necessary, observations will be sent to the authors, who will always also remain anonymous, so that they make the appropriate modifications. The Editorial Board will finally evaluate the publication of the work according to the reports of the external evaluators.

All works will be acknowledged. The Editorial Board will decide, in the following four months, the publication of the work, based on reports from at least two double blind external and anonymous reviewers. Reviewers will follow a form prepared by the Editorial Board. The final decision will be communicated to the author and, if affirmative, the journal issue in which the work will be included will be indicated. The publication may be conditioned to changes with respect to the original version, especially the adaptation to author guidelines. Items that are returned for not complying with the guidelines may be re-submitted once the appropriate changes have been made.
